Re: Need help with turret
Did you have a look at this? Turret Tutorial
As for using two barrels, you need to have next aimer lines in there. Have a look at any existing 2 barreled odf for an example. You also need the .option file mentioned in the tutorial that is why you are getting the error and it is not firing from the right place.

Re: Need help with turret
Depends on how you are doing the turret, both ways are described.
As for a .option file any text editor works. It's name just has to be nameofyourmsh.msh.option

Re: Need help with turret
im doing it without merging the objects. i made an otpion file but nothing changed. In the tut i saw something about the hp_fire and other nulls had to be parents or childs of certain things. Can someone give me another example or some kind of help with that?

Re: Need help with turret
Normally aimerX (up and down of the barrels) is a child of aimerY (rotate).
Your barrels would go under aimerX, your turning bits, I assume the cylinder, would go under aimerY. Everything that is not suppose to turn or tilt goes under the dummyroot.
You still also need the .option file that I mentioned earlier.

Re: Need help with turret
When dealing with aimers you are talking about the rotations, the X axis goes left to right but when you rotate around the X axis you are moving up and down(pitch), the Y axis runs up and down but when you rotate around the Y axis you are moving left and right(yaw)...get it?jango wrote:...but shouldnt x mean horizontal and y mean vertical?
